Stand by for an announcement:
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Active Members of Gravite have decided that, in lieu of a recent lack of promotions, and in foresight of an influx of new members, we will strengthen the hierarchy so as to provide the new members with structure and clear definition as to who they should be both respecting and sending their questions to.

All active members will receive the following:
1st Rank Tier Members will receive 3 promotions.
2nd Rank Tier Members will receive 2 promotions.
3rd Rank Tier Members will receive 1 promotion.

-----------------------------------------------------------
This will be in effect immediately, and only applies to active members. These members will be listed below.

As well, to provide visual identification, I will personally handle ID cards, beginning in the near future. This includes construction and distribution. Any questions will be deferrable to me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The members who will receive 3 Promotions include:
**Note** All of the following must post their selection of Enlisted or Officer here ASAP.

Privates:
----Purpl_Peeple_Eater----
----Forever_Blind521----
----MerDefsGirl----

-Will go to rank: Corporal or 2nd Lieutenant-

PFC's:
----Darius Roslyn----
----Hakabakashii----
----Mercenary_RP----
----Wyvernflames the Gilded----
----The True Razgriz----

-Will go to rank: Sergeant or 1st Lieutenant-

Lance Corporals:
----Katanadude47----
----o-Karma-o----
----The Licorice Demon----
----Zariqueen----

-Will go to rank: Gunnery Sergeant or Captain-
-----------------------------------------------------------
Those who will receive 2 promotions include:

Corporals:
----xX Ratchet Lombax Xx----

-Will go to: Gunnery Sergeant-

Sergeants:
----Strifer Garuwashi----

-Will go to: Sergeant First Class (SFC)-

Gunnery Sergeants:
----Doomed Lucid----
----Sumeragi Kamui----

-Will go to: Master Sergeant-
-----------------------------------------------------------
Those who will receive 1 promotion include:
(none)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Also, by my special order, NOT discussed with Gravite, The Following will receive promotions specific to them.
-Master Gunnery Sergeant K' the Warrior, promoted to Sergeant Major.
-Brigadier General Kaneharo, promoted to Major General.
-Sergeant Major Nxegex, Promoted to Master Sergeant Major.
-----------------------------------------------------------

An additional decision from Gravite has determined the new criteria for promotions, which will go into effect hereafter.

For Enlisted to receive a promotion, they must show continued activity in Mercenary League Missions or the Department of Advertising.

For Officer to receive a promotion, they must show continued activity in any of The Departments.

This is in addition to the requirement, that all members participate in League Fundamentals: the Haven, Parlor, Revres, or the Main Page.

There are no numerical values attached. If you're active enough for your rank, you get a promotion at the end of the month. A specific date for promotions will not be noted herein. Only that it will be at the end of each month.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Any questions should be posted here. Expect them to be answered within 24 hours. As for when the ID cards will be up, I'm not sure.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now, for those who are interested, a minor explanation as to why this is occurring:

Because of the changes in Gravite, our client base will now be much higher. Furthermore, many people disagreed with our tactics. Not just clients, but also members. They both disagreed with the concept of being Paid to RP. However, now we're more akin to normal RPers, in that we no longer charge for it. We do it for the fun of RPing with friends, and the feeling of helping out an RP that, otherwise, may never have even gotten off the ground. This is a positive feeling, that both our clients and members will enjoy. Thus, we expect to have far more business, so to speak.

Because of this, we expect our advertising to be far more worthwhile and effective. Though we can't attach a number to it, both recruited members and active members should increase greatly, in relative terms of success-to-effort. As thus, I intend to spearhead another advertising campaign, which I expect will be far more profitable than any previously, for this reason. Of course, I would like as many members as can to join me. This is besides the point.

The point is, we will likely have a large influx of new members. They will be mostly unsure of themselves in this environment, and it would help to strengthen the hierarchy, which is why making all of you higher ranks makes sense. It would allow the members to see at-a-glance who their superiors are, who knows what to do in what situation, and who can assist them when they need help. This would be further reinforced by the ID cards, which would make a point of denoting the ranks of the members.

That's my thinking behind this. Remember that, by gaining a new rank, you're also, potentially, gaining increased responsibility.
-----------------------------------------------------------
That is all for the time being. Remember to check for updates to the Gravite thread. And remember, if you're a Private, PFC, or Lance Corporal listed, you NEED to tell me what you want to be, Enlisted, or Officer. If anyone needs an explanation between the two, just say so.

That is all. Dismissed!

Enlisted. That's the one that focuses mostly on RP, right? If so, that's the one I choose.

Officer for me.

You should implement the new criteria too.

I noted it.The next promotions, what will be next month, will be based on it. If, for SOME reason, folk didn't read it, the criteria is thus: Enlisted folk need to Advertise OR Go into missions. Officers need to hang in the Departments or the Haven.

I'll begin moving names starting tomorrow.

I read it, don't worry, there's just one part that confuses me. I thought we agreed activity in the Haven was expected from all members, not just Officers. And you didn't put in the criteria that applies to all members, only the special criteria for Officer and Enlisted. I know it's trivial, just sayin'.

Well, honestly I did it from memory... I'm guessing I screwed it up, and thus head over to gravite...

Aaaaand... HERE we go.

General promotion criteria (applied to all members, Officer or Enlisted): over-all activity in guild fundamentals, like the Haven, Revres, the Parlor, and the main page.

Added promotion criteria for Officer Members: Constructive activity within the League departments.

Added promotion criteria for Enlisted Members: Successful participation in the League's missions.

Holy Crap, you're quick!

I post, wait a second to watch That 70's show, and BAM! New post by Darius Roslyn. Anyhow, I'll correct the listed criteria now. And I'm keeping the Enlisted-Advertising thing. We need folk advertising. Sarsly.
PostPosted: Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:22 pm



Yeah, no objections with that. It goes with the whole 'participating in missions' thing. Best way to advertise our skill is to use it, I say.

Oh hey, did we talk about moving the Advertising Dept. to the DWM? I see only benefits if we did that.

I don't think we talked about it, though I'd be against it.

Could I ask why?

Officer, of course.

I honestly just think they'd work better as separate entities.
